i would say no...i mean if your sliding out on one of your edges the fins will help, but if your like landing too far back on your board and its sliding out in front of you there are not going to help anymore...and even if you are sliding out on your edges i would still keep them off and just keep doing it until you stick it, if your landing on the board you will get it soon and riding without fins teaches you how to edge properly and will make you better in the long run so i would say stick with it
